Writing draft

Every person faces obstacles in life, but people with a disability face many more; however,
they don´t give up, on the contrary, they fight harder every day until they reach their goals. For
example, Nick Vujicic, a great motivational speaker and preacher, was born with Tetra Amelia
Syndrome, which is characterized by a lack of limbs, so Nick was born without arms or legs.
This caused him to be tormented by his schoolmates, which caused problems with his mental
health. Despite everything, Nick was never defeated. First, he became more independent. He
learned many activities such as typing with his toes, using a computer, playing ball, swimming,
etc. Then, he graduated at age 21 from college with a Bachelor of Commerce. Finally, he
realized that his life was an inspiration to others, so he created his organization "Life Without
Limits". He began travelling around the world as a motivational speaker, was interviewed on
various shows, and wrote several motivational books. As Nick Vujicic said, "If you can't get a
miracle, become one." In conclusion, although Nick Vujicic had many obstacles throughout his
life, he overcame them and became in one of the most inspiring people.
